Will we ever see 'Hera Pheri 3'?
Recently, Priyadarshan left Hera Pheri 3 and said that the film will never be made. He told the outlet, "To the best of my knowledge, Hera Pheri 3 will never hit the screens due to lots of legal issues and personal conflicts. Whether I am involved or not is unimportant."
